 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3       lb           Of nectarines
    3                    Medium-size oranges
    4 1/2   c            Of sugar (2 1/4 pounds)
 
   Makes about 4 half-pints. Wash, blanch, peel and pit nectarines; wash
   the oranges.  Remove the peel from 1 1/2 of the oranges and discard
   it. Put the nectarines and the peeled and unpeeled oranges through a
   meat grinder. There should be about 4 1/2 cups.  Place the fruit in a
   preserving kettle, add 4 1/2 cups of sugar and bring slowly to a
   boil. Boil rapidly, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring
   frequently. Skim off foam with a metal spoon.  Ladle into hot,
   sterilized jars and seal immediately.
   
   To seal:  Fill to within 1/2-inch head room, being sure to first wipe
   the rim and threads of the jars with a hot damp cloth to remove all
   particles of food, seeds or spices.  While contents are hot, cover
   with a 1/8-inch layer of paraffin.  When paraffin has set, add
   another layer of melted paraffin, tilting and rotating the jar to
   seal completely.
